Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hate to say it, but I don't remember the source of the artwork(s). So, all praise should go to Young & Anon. :-(

I'm doing a school project that involves just intonation....

so far I'm only a few hours into investigating it....but to me it just sounds extremely out of tune?

out of tune in relation to tempered tuning.

it sounds extremely different because he puts emphasis on the 7th harmonic.
In just intonation you use the 7th harmonic which naturally sounds different to the tempered seventh that we are used to.

I'm afraid it's not available commercially. It seems that Young is not very enthiastic on selling CD's.

Yes I know. So why can't this be a new form of Western Harmony?

I would say "Vintage" because it was originally used in the West before the invention of tempered tuning... "New" I find thus to be a bit of a misnomer,... but call it what you want I suppose...

why does it have to be "western" harmony? ethnocentric much?
